Before he could ask Long Siye for this favor, he decided to send someone off again. Moreover, it took him a few days, and he had not returned until now.
"What if it would affect another student’s future if he recovers?"
Gu Canmo frowned, "What do you want to do? And why is it related to another student?"
Gu Xijiu casually said, "Because someone stole Qian Lingyu’s power! We must find the student if we want to save Qian Lingyu and get him to return the power he stole."
Gu Canmo was confused, "What do you mean?"
Gu Xijiu sighed, "Fine; then I'll just tell you straight to the point. Qian Lingyu wasn't losing control; the strange illness wasn't the side effect of losing control. Someone has cast a spell on him!"
Gu Canmo was shocked, "What! What kind of spell? Impossible, I did suspect that and invited a magic expert to check, it wasn't like what you said."
Gu Xijiu shook her head and said, "It was a special spell as it was only a general spell but a venomous one. It was the Gown Poison."
Gown Poison was created by Gu Xijiu as she recalled the Gown Magic in one of the Wuxia novels. She decided to explain the characteristics of the poison spell, "The reason for its name was because the power he got can never be used by himself, as though the girls who made the gowns couldn't get married even after making so many gowns for others. The victim who got the spell would lose his power to the one who cast the spell via the same venomous worm. The more the victim practice the Kung Fu, the faster he loses his power and the one who cast the spell would be stronger…"
Gu Canmo was shocked as he listened. He was an old ginger, and he knew who the culprit was. He frowned and asked, "Do you mean Qian Lingtian was the one who cast the spell?"
Gu Xijiu nodded, "Yes."
"What proof do you have? Are you just speculating?" Gu Canmo did not wholeheartedly believe.
Gu Xijiu smiled and said, "Of course I have the evidence, but I need you to help me get it. Of course, it’s your call whether you want to find out the truth."
Gu Canmo was good with the plan, "Go ahead; I’ll not be biased to anyone, just tell me what do you need."
Gu Xijiu answered, "It’s straightforward. There’s a special trait to control the spell which the victim and the culprit will need to practice Kung Fu at the same time. Whenever the victim starts to practice, the culprit would know, and he would do the same. I told Qian Lingyu to practice at random hours and realized both of them were doing the same thing at the same time. You can ask someone to observe them and see whether they practice at the same time."
Gu Canmo nodded, "That’s easy! But, that’s difficult to conclude if you only base it on this."
Gu Xijiu smiled, "Of course that’s not the only key thing. Stealing power from someone is an evil deed, and the stolen power would not be under control. Thus, the culprit would need a pill to override the power for his use."
"What kind of pill?"
"The Fire Lava Pill!"
"Impossible! Making the pill is complicated. He will need to eat it every day if he steals Qian Lingyu's power every day! It was a heavy usage, and he needs more than 300 pills a year! Tianju Hall doesn't even have such a huge number of supply!"
"No, he doesn't need to eat it every day. He needs a daily dose if he takes a grade-one pill, but if he takes higher grade pills, then it could last him for a few days. For example, the grade-two pill could last three days, the grade-three pill could last for seven days, and the grade-four pill could even last for a month!"
Gu Xijiu said casually, "There’s a night market, right? Based on what I’ve heard, this pill is occasionally available at the night market, but the price will be doubled compared to the pharmacy."
Gu Canmo remained silent, and his face looked grave.
He took a deep breath and said, "I’ll look into this incident!"
Qian Lingtian was just an average student from the Ziyun class, where did he get so many spiritual stones to buy the medicine?
If what Gu Xijiu said was right, there was probably a mighty person behind Qian Lingtian!
Qian Lingtian was probably a spy which they put in Tianju Hall. That was not a small matter; we must investigate him appropriately!
He pondered and seemed to have a plan in his mind. He told Gu Xijiu, "This is not a small matter, don't leak out any info, I'll investigate it."
Gu Xijiu smiled, "Of course, it’s your call."
Gu Canmo stopped talking for a short while and then continued asking, "Gu Xijiu, don’t you hate me? I mistreated you before, and you still trust me?"
Gu Xijiu looked at him with her head slanted one side, "Of course I hate you, I hate you so badly. Honestly, I feel happy seeing you punished here."
Gu Canmo remained silent.
Gu Xijiu immediately changed her attitude, "Anyway, I still trust you. I trust your personality, and I believe whatever decision made is for Tianju Hall’s good. Alright, I think I’ll leave it to you for the next plan." Then, she disappeared.
Gu Canmo felt touched. This little girl was quite good.
She was knowledgeable and passionate, most importantly, she was full of creative ideas. Oh, wait! She had not told him how to get rid of Qian Lingyu's spell! Gu Canmo was in a panic and almost broke the chain to go after her!
...
In the evening of the sixth day, Gu Xijiu went to The Lord’s courtyard again.
He had not returned, Gu Xijiu thought he would not come back anymore. And he probably just intended to scare her when he said he was going to check on her studies on the sixth day. Gu Xijiu guessed he did not take it seriously.
She felt relieved, and the book was too thick already. She did read the book, but there was still a distance to master all the theories.
After all, there were quite many terms which were difficult to understand; even the Firmament Stone could not follow. Thus, she could only memorize it.
If he comes back to check her homework, she would probably need to run around Tianju Hall with a single leg for the entire night. Luckily, he did not come back!
She then packed some stuff and met Qian Lingyu. After telling him the important things then only they went to the night market.
The night market was full of people who dressed in a long robe and wore a mask. Gu Xijiu and Qian Lingyu still went back to the same spot where they set up their stall. They realized many people had already waited there and some even stretched their neck as though they were looking for something. They immediately looked at those who just came to set up their stall, and then moved their gaze away when they realized it was Gu Xijiu.
Someone even helped them to reserve the spot for their stall and also chase away those who wanted to take the location.
"Xijiu, is he here?" Qian Lingyu’s gaze was scanning the crowd, but he could not identify him.
Gu Xijiu also scanned the crowd and realized he was there, "Yes, he is here."
"Should we go now? To fish him?"
